艺术家自述

 

于Bryan艺术展评论——美国波士顿国家黑人艺术家博物馆馆长Edmund Barry Gaither

 

O的旅程艺术展——驻中国牙买加大使Wayne McCook

 

  前言

  不只是O

  马萨诸塞大学的教授布莱恩•马克法兰(Bryan Mcfarlane)先生坚持通过视觉、嗅觉、触觉和味觉等感官体验来获得灵感,并非仅仅是通过书籍。他到处旅行,到访过南美,欧洲,非洲,土耳其和伊朗。此次展览的作品中丰富的元素源于他在中国的感受。

  布莱恩•马克法兰先生的艺术色彩厚重。他在作品中有时会运用一些梦幻般的浅粉或钴蓝。有时会通过画面的某些元素透露一些哲学层面的深层涵义。“圆”这一基本元素贯穿着此次展览的始终,“圆”是一种循环,是轮回,也代表无限......

  本次以“自行车、金字塔与蛋——O的旅程”为题的展览大部分为布莱恩先生在中国旅行后的近作,很多幅作品中,我们都能看到圆形的物体,有些是以“炮弹”的形象出现的,比如《未爆炸的炮弹》;有些是以“蛋”的形式表现,比如《沸腾》,也有一些是以破碎的自行车轮胎展现,比如《自行车蓝调》。

  反复在诸多作品中重现的加能炮弹代表殖民地时期在思想与文化方面的入侵;无数的蛋代表着孕育,发展,不断孵化的再生循环;自行车轮不断旋转,向前,发展,历史不断前进......同时装置艺术也与画面的圆,金字塔有些异曲同工之妙。

  布莱恩•马克法兰 (Bryan McFarlane)经常在世界各地举办展览,此次展览是布莱恩先生首次来华展出。在2008年,布莱恩•马克法兰将通过他的艺术作品与中国文化进行交流与联接。

  MORE THAN CIRCLE

  Mr. Bryan McFarlane is an associate professor of painting and drawing at the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth. He insist on finding inspirations through visual, smell, touch and taste and other sensory. He gets resources not only through books but also travelling. He had been visited South America, Europe, Africa, Turkey, and Iran etc. The recent works of him in this exhibition enrich the elements stemmed from his experience in China.

  The paintings of Mr. Mcfarlane are rich in thick colour and strong brushstrokes. Sometimes we can see a little bit fantastic light pink or cobalt blue. And also, it reveals some deeper meanings in the fields of philosophical dimensions. Circles have always run through this exhibition: it refers to circulating, reincarnation and also infinity...

  "Bicycles, Pyramids and Egg Axis--A Circular Journey" shows the latest works of Bryan. We can see many circular figures in the paintings. Sometimes they appear as canon balls, such as the paining "Unexploded", some of them are in the form of "eggs" in the painting "Boiling". The wheels of the bicycles in the "Bicycle Blues" are also displaying the circular figures.

  Many works, we could see the circular objects, some of the "shells" of the image, such as "unexploded ordnance" Some of these are "egg" in the form of performance, such as "boiling," there are some as a broken bicycle tire display, such as "Bicycle Blues."

  The canon balls appear time and time again in Bryan's paintings.They are the representative of the colonial era in the ideological and cultural aspects of the invasion. The countless eggs represent gestation, development and incubation of recycling. The wheels of bicycle refers to forward, development, and continually advance... The installation works are expressing the same idea as the paintings in different words

  Bryan McFarlane usually holds exhibitions in the world .The present exhibition is the first solo-show for Bryan McFarlane. At 2008, he will carry on exchanges through his works with Chinese culture .
